You will need to pay someone to erect the marker though. If you want someone to put a flag on the grave, contact the GAR Civil War Museum and Library, 4278 Griscom St., Philadelphia, PA 19124-3954, and give your veteran's name and the plot location of the grave. The museum is near North Cedar Hill. _www.garmuslib.org_ (http://www.garmuslib.org) Sndtenterprises Genealogical and Historical Research ==== PAPHILAD Mailing List ==== Helpful abbreviations: (APS)American Philosophical Society, [ARI]Annenberg Research Institute,(BI)Balch Institute,[DU] Drexel University Library, FLP)Free Library of Philadelphia, [GHS] Germantown Historical Society, GSP)Genealogical Society of PA, (HSP)Historical Society of PA, LC)Library Company, [NARS] National Archives Regional Branch-Philadelphia, PCA)Philadelphia City Archives,(PCH)Philadelphia City Hall, (PJAC)Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center, (RWA)Register of Wills Archives,(TU)Temple University, (UP)University of Pennsylvania Libraries and Archives ============================== View and search Historical Newspapers.
